When it's time for sun and fun, when it's time for sailing and playing in the azure blue waters and balmy breezes of the Caribbean, when it's time to be pampered in luxury by your own private crew, it's Happy Time!

New to the BVI charter scene for the 2011-2012 season, Happy Time, a 2010 Vision 450 catamaran, built in Cape Town, South Africa by Matrix Yachts, is an innovative, thoroughly modern, performance design and has been finished to mega yacht standards in keeping with Matrix Yachts’ reputation established by her larger cousin, the highly successful Silhouette 760. The genius and passion of her designer and builder is apparent in all facets of the yacht down to the smallest detail.

Her accommodations are luxurious and the volume of the staterooms is similar to those found on much larger yachts. The immediate impression upon boarding Happy Time is one of spaciousness and generous headroom (6'8" in the salon and 6'5" in the staterooms).

She has three staterooms for guests, two with queen sized beds and one with a king sized bed, and a fourth stateroom for her full time crew. Each stateroom has a large bathroom equipped with separate shower stalls and full sized fresh water flush electric toilets.

The yacht is fully air conditioned and has a high output reverse osmosis water maker powered by a whisper quiet generator.

Her spacious salon has the look of a high end apartment and are filled with natural light from the large forward and side facing windows which provide a panoramic view. A large flat screen TV with a DVD player faces the large settee and dining table. The galley is elegant and ergonomic and is equipped with high end appliances, including an ice maker. With the sliding salon door and the aft facing galley window open, the interior blends naturally with the outside.

The aft deck is shaded by a hard top bimini and is centered around a large dining table with seating for eight and features a built in refrigerator. Her two "sugar scoop" swim platforms make boarding a snap.

The huge forward deck is perfect for lounging at anchor and is a fun place to hang out when underway.

HAPPY TIME Crew Profile

Captain Tom Coleman's love of the water began in his childhood of wakeboarding and waterskiing in the Finger Lakes of New York. After completing a degree in "Environmental Studies and International Development" and living in Uganda and Mexico, he began crewing on charter yachts. Tom has skippered catamarans and monohulls, from luxury cruisers to performance racers. An avid racer, he has competed in regattas throughout the Caribbean and the United Kingdom. He has crossed the Atlantic twice, sextant in hand, to learn the traditional skills of sailing. Tom looks forward to the opportunity to take you sailing on such a classic, stunning beauty as Happy Time. As a USCG Master Captain and RYA Yachtmaster Ocean, you will be in safe hands as he shows you the most stunning snorkel spots and secluded beaches in the Virgin Islands.

As the daughter of a Maine lobsterman, Chef and First Mate Melony Jones has the ocean in her blood. A skilled sailor and skipper in her own right, Melony is a former sailing instructor and racer. She is always happy to share her passion with those new and old to the sport. Having completed a degree in "Recreation, Adventure Travel and Ecotourism," studied in culinary courses overseas, and with years of restaurant experience both cooking and serving, Melony knows a thing or two about food and hospitality.
